So just got done with my first injector shave of my life.
What I used. Razor pictured above
2 days worth of growth.
Schick injectors from Walgeens. For soap I used AOS Lavender shaving cream and AOS pure badger. Whipped up the lather in my dads old Spice mug. (side note this is only the second time trying to make lather in a bowl. Always face lathered.) It was actually pretty easy. I pre soaked my brush for a few minutes and gave it 3 shakes. Really just air dabs vertical. used a dime size drop on the end of my brush. mixing after 45 seconds to a minute the brush was fully loaded. Nice Bloom I believe it is called. Added a little more water and mixed for another 45 seconds and Viola had a cup of some delicious looking lather.
Then I proceeded to lather my face. Grabbed the razor. Had it set on 3 did not want to have too aggressive on the first go. First pass all N/S. I was not sure I was cutting REALLY smooth. Only knew it was cutting from the audible sound. Finished my first pass and felt my entire face. UMMM I thought is closer than my Slim for a first pass. Now I am starting to get a little mere excited about this thing. Lathered up for the second pass and did XTG. Again felt face and even better. Third pass ATG now when things got very interesting for me. I always have a huge problem getting under my jaw line. Neck is no problem. on jaw line did the buffing stroke., No irritation at all. So I move to under my nose. never have been able to do true ATG more of 45 degree off axis ATG. To my utter surprise I was able to go full ATG. no tugging at all it kind of freaked me out.
.
Rinsed my face with cold water. Cleaned up my stuff and put every thing away. One more rinse with cold water. Pat dried my face and splashed on some Clubman. (first time using this also.) Very little sting only really on the tiny nick on my adams apple.This shave was not a BBS never really had one yet. But a true DFS. Not too concerned about BBS at this point. Trying new razors and blades process right now is what I am doing.
I have to say that I am extremely impressed with this razor. Zero irritation even now sitting typing this. (slow typer so say 45 minutes after shaving). I cannot wait for my next shave. I will crank it up a notch or two and see how that one goes.
One satisfied shaver right now.
